Secret Agent

As I was chasing a pigeon in my car, I began to think about secret agents. My goal in life is to be a pre-production artist for films, so naturally, I’m always having ideas for movies. This time, I pictured a really cool secret agent with mask, so he looks kind of like a ninja. So, to be a pre-production artist, you gotta be really good at drawing, which I am. So I started sketching and came up with this:

This was my first pass at the character design but I was pretty happy with it. I wanted him to be really muscular, like he works out and trains all the time. Since I wanted him to look really awesome, I gave him gloves. He’s supposed to look futuristic also, so I gaves him suspenders. I didn’t want to give him a big utility belt or nothing because his only weapons are his gun and his knife. So he comes up behind you, and slices your brain out. I also wanted him to be really good at sneaking around, so that’s why he’s got a knife – to slice your head off.

I took it a step further and made a small animation, nothin’ special. But I was trying to visualize what this guy would look like taking out fruitcakes. I animated two enemies attacking him. So he’s dodging them, and ideally, I’d like him to put one of them in a headlock and blow their head up with punches.
